4.1. TRANSPORT PROCEDURE
Note: Use only a tractor or towing vehicle of adequate power and capacity to transport
the machine.
Follow this procedure when placing the unit into its transport position:
1. Attach the auger intake to the towing vehicle with a minimum 1/2” diameter
pin with retainer clip and safety chain.
2. Fully raise the v-frame assembly by retracting the hydraulic cylinder. For
transportation on public roadways, secure the v-frame to the auger frame to
prevent it from accidentally dropping.
3. Before transporting, disengage the over-center handle at each wheel (Figure
4.1) by pulling up on the handle.

NOTICE
Ensure that the over-center bolts are tight enough to
prevent the handle from engaging. If they are not tight
enough, damage to the gears and motor will result.
